Happening Now: Spring Flow bump is over and the Salmon Fly Is On!! The river will still be fishable just look closer to the bank with larger flies. The main Bug this time of year is Stonefly nymphs and dries, don't be afraid to throw some larger flies. The hatch is around Ute park in full swing but there are still adults at pleasure park.
Most Productive: Stoneflies!. Larger salmonfly adults as a indicator with a trailing pat's rubberleg or bright colored nymph.
Water Clarity: Off color due to runoff

Happening Now: The Road Is Open! Unless weather causes any new slides the road should stay open all summer. The flows have leveled off at the Peak for this year. Water is still high and off color and if you do any fishing look close to the bank for feeding fish. Spring is now! Be thinking Stoneflies and worm.
Most Productive:Stonefly patterns as well as scuds and worms as the water rises. The runs will be your best shot at hooking fish but always be on the lookout for rising fish.
Water Clarity: Gunny Green

Happening Now: Flow has dropped on the main stem of the Gunnison River. We are seeing A LOT of =Salmon Fly activities at pleasure park area. Not so much on the surface yet but fish are happy eating subsurface bugs. Try a dry dropper rig with Salmon Fly adults up top and dropping the nymph underneath it. Water is still off colored caused by the Smith Fork but the fishing is on!
Most Productive: Dry dropper with Salmon Fly adult and their nymph as dropper. Nymphing with Stonefly patterns, mayfly nymphs and brighter flashy nymphs. Worms and bug stones would be the best combo.

The snowpack in the highcountry is finally melting and we are in major runoff in the Gunnison Valley. Well experience peak flows this month and see some very high water. The Gunnison County Sheriffs Department has closed both the Gunnison and Slate rivers as of June 7. See details on the blog. There are limited to no angling opportunities on the rivers and anglers should use extreme caution until the rivers settle down.

Happening Now: Fishing is Ok above Pleasure Park, the spring flow bump is about halfway done, the river will still be fishable, expect to see the water change over the next 10 days. With the warming weather, the North Fork of the Gunnison is too high to wade across. Access the river from the south side and fish upstream of the confluence. Fish are looking to feed and throwing large stonefly nymphs trailed with bright smaller flies should lead to some hookups.
Most Productive: Nymphing with Stonefly patterns, mayfly nymphs and brighter flashy nymphs. Worms and bug stones would be the best combo.
